My E drive has stopped working and does not even appear as a device.

I was copying an audio cd to a disc that has been in my E drive.  I took it out and it did not work.  I put a CD - R in the drive closed it and now it will not open and when I go to my computer the drive does not exist.  It only shows my drive D and F there.

  • CD/DVD drive has stopped working and now not recognized in 'My Computer'

    I have a HP Pavilion computer to office model a6109n, product number GG038AA, S/N CNH7250K0M. I've been running Windows 7 for 2 years. My CD player recently stopped working. I can't attribute this failure to any specific event that would have led to it.  When a CD is inserted, the green light comes on for about 6 seconds then turns off. The CD player is not long represented on the 'My Computer' to readers list. The CD drive appears in Device Manager. I tried to roload the driver for CD drive, Windows gave a message stating that the best driver is already installed. I have no error message and ran three programs different viruses with no problems. I've also updated Windows available current configuration that has not solved the problem. Thinking it was a hardware problem, I checked the CD drive cable connections and that did not help.  I replaced the CD drive with a new drive for HP and had the same symptoms. I returned the new CD player and he traded for an external CD drive and had the same symptoms in all USB ports. I tried every USB port with a flash player and the flash player saved on my computer in all USB ports. If my CD drive is being recognized by the Device Manager but not in my computer. It's okay if it's an internal or external drive. Everything else on the computer works fine. More troubleshooting ideas?  Thank you.

  • display driver has stopped working and recovered

    In my laptop, I get a message from the display driver has stopped working and my screen goes black and crash suddenly

    Details of my laptop are
    Compaq 620
    Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit
    Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T6570 2.10 GHz
    Display map Mobile Intel(r) 45 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
    Hitachi HTS545032B9A300 ATA Device driver
    Display Mobile PC screen 1366 * 768

    Help, please

    I would start by removing the current driver and installing the latest driver available.  (yours is 5 years old)

    "It is not a true crash, in the sense that the blue screen was launched only because the combination of material and video driver video was to be insensitive and not because of any exception processing synchronous".

    Since Vista, the components of "Timeout detection and recovery" (TDR) of the subsystem video OS have been able to do some really impressive things to try to find issues that would have led to the earlier OS like XP to crash.

    As a last resort, the TDR subsystem sends a video driver command "Please restart you now!" and wait a few seconds.
    If there is no answer, the BONE concludes that the combo of driver/hardware video has really collapsed in a heap, and it fires at this stop 0 x 116 BSOD.

    If playing with video driver versions did not help, make sure that the box is not overheated.
    Try to remove a side panel and a fan of big sector directly to the motherboard and GPU.
    Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to check whether the cooler temperatures make a difference.

    If so, it could be as simple as dust accumulation and inadequate cooling afterwards.

    I download cpu - z and gpu - z (both free) and keep an eye on the video time

  • Display driver has stopped working and has recovered

    This is my first post, so please bear with me. Also although I use pc a lot, I'm not technical interest. I have a laptop Compaq presario CQ61 64-bit Windows 7.  2 days ago the screen went suddenly "speckly" flickered then briefly became black. On forward "normal service resumed" but a message "display driver stopped working and got ' came then disappeared. I was watching BBCiplayer in time if this is useful. Since then, the problem has re occurred several times and I had to reboot a couple of times. I don't do any game at all, just browse some sites regularly then use Skype for an hour a day.  I thought everything was good today as the portable performed normally for a long time, then did it again! Can anyone help (in terms of simple fool) Please? Thank you very much

    An update conflict is possble.

    It is likely, too, that just reinstall the driver - if necessary update or just reinstall the current version - can solve this problem, if the software is at the origin of the problem.  Sometimes the drivers are dynamited by the updates and can be cured by be reinstalled after the fact.

    Good luck!  Post back with your results, if you like, and let us know how you fare.

    Also check with Support ATI, their drivers and documentation online and ask in their forums
    on known problems. You should perhaps update the video driver or re - install the same as

  • Display driver has stopped working and has recovered - Inspiron 7359 2-in-1

    This happens several times a day, please see the error message in the screenshot-"ha stopped working and also recovered display driver.

    The strange thing is that she mentions Windows 8 when I have 10 Windows running on the machine. I also removed the display driver and installed from the dell support web site. Also updated the BIOS from the same place.

    Had the same problem with an XPS 15 9530, to the point where it drove me crazy. I can confirm that, for a few days it's been corrected by installing the beta driver for Intel. You must uninstall the driver from Device Manager Dell, reboot and then install the beta driver.

  • Satellite Pro L20: Adapter WLan has stopped working and will not allow

    Hello

    I have a L20 Pro Satalite, which works very well. However, just before Christmas 2006, the adapter wireless (Atheros AR5005G) has stopped working.

    Windows XP Pro SP2 can see the adapter and network connections shows as being activated, but he sees not all networks.

    The Atheros Client Utility says that the adapter pases troubleshooting TI test diagnosis up to the Radio, when he says that the Radio is disabled and must be enabled in the Client utility.

    'Excellent!', I thought: opening the utility forward. Looked in the Action menu to find "turn on the Radio" is greyed out!

    Help!

    Any help is very welcome.

    See you soon,.

    Barry Smith.

    Is there a hardware option to enable and disable your wireless network card? (switch)
    You upgrade your Wlan driver recently? (If Yes, maybe with the wrong driver?)

    I had a similar problem once and resolved through driver updates... want to give it a try?

    You can download the driver generic Atheros (Version 5.0.0.107) available here:

  • Just downloaded Lightroom 6. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has stopped working.  Does not open

    Just downloaded Lightroom 6. When I open it, I get the following message: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

    Please restart your machine in safe mode by pressing the F8 key during the restart and launch Lightroom in this mode.
